Pumpkin Pie Shake


Pumpkin is absolutely THE flavor of Fall. Here's a low cal, low fat shake that I am absolutely obsessed with. I got the idea for this from a good friend and it's so easy to make, I find myself whipping them up as often as possible!

Here's what you'll need:

2/3 cups Libby's Easy Pumpkin Pie Mix
1/2 cup skim milk
1 cup ice (the smaller the ice the better- it'll be easier for the blender to break down)
3 packets Splenda (or sugar of your choice)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
   *VERY IMPORTANT: make sure you get the pumpkin pie mix and not the pumpkin puree.



Directions:

1. Add all ingredients to the blender.
2. Blend until all the ice is broken down and your shake is smooth and frothy.
3. Poor into your favorite mug and enjoy.

Pretty straightforward, right? The results are amazing, and the best part is, you can have an amazing pumpkin shake without the guilt of the 34g of fat you'd get from a Sonic pumpkin pie shake.


Extras
You may be asking yourself, "What about the pie crust? What about the whipped cream?" Don't worry you can easily add these without increasing the fat and calorie content too much. Here's how::



For the whipped cream, add a dollop of fat free Cool Whip.



For the pie crust, break open a 100 calorie pack of Lorna Doone Shortbread Cookies, crush them into smaller pieces, then sprinkle the cookie crumbles on top
